Here we’re not trying to prove who practiced slavery before who, but to demonstrate that the term “African” has always been used exclusively in reference to black people for the greater part of our history.<br /><br />8. That some lone white guy in 1707 called himself “African” doesn’t mean he is. Afrikaners are descendants of the Dutch, French and Germans.

If you say Homo Sapiens drove them to extinction, then you agree with me that it was Homo Sapiens that migrated from Africa, not Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Therefore the Out-Of-Africa theory is rendered invalid as it is premised on the view that it was Homo Sapiens Sapiens who migrated.<br /><br />2.

It appears that the out of Africa theory is the accepted model while the multi-regional origin of modern humans is the hypothesis. Which of course has no bearing on the terms Africa or African, as these were invented by Romans long after the emergence of Homo sapiens and long before the Islamic expansion into Africa.<br /><br />Garg Unzolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584292157716117449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19361141.post-59940442236455923092011-01-01T10:43:31.234+00:002011-01-01T10:43:31.234+00:001.

I refer to Neanderthals because in one version of historical revisionism, Homo sapiens drove Neanderthals to extinction by means of what you'd call colonialism. This suggests that colonialism is endemic to Homo sapiens the species and not endemic to any particular race.<br /><br />2.

You state that black people were capturing slaves before colonialists invaded Africa, but that is besides the point. The fact of the matter is that from the colonialists set foot on this continent, which was largely inhabited by black people, the native inhabitants and Africans, there was no other person that Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19361141.post-77316982500763754802011-01-01T09:19:59.085+00:002011-01-01T09:19:59.085+00:00Sentletse replies via email:
